4.0

4.5 stars. Well worth reading. The first half is more compelling than the second (especially the beautiful chapter about Pilger’s memories of Sydney growing up), but the second half is also worthwhile. Am definitely less confused about oddities of industry concentration and Australia’s relationship with the US now.

Not only a good example of the history our parents didn't learn, it's a description of the Australia that could have been had Whitlam not been kicked out
